Election betting controversy grows

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A fifth Conservative is being looked into by the Gambling Commission in relation to alleged bets on the date of the general election. We have the latest from Westminster - and ask how voters are responding to the growing controversy. At least five people have been killed in Kenya during mass protests against the government's plans to raise taxes. The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has arrived in a remote US territory in the Pacific to plead guilty to a charge of espionage - we're live on the island. And the legendary Irish broadcaster Michael O'Muircheartaigh has died at the age of 93 after a career spanning six decades. We have a tribute from the comedian Dara O'Briain.
